Anyone who gets close enough to see the scratched lens could be either blinded by your UltraStinger or hit with it
Of course, you could contact Streamlight and ask them to replace you scratched lens.
I am interested in how your UltraStinger compares to the MagCharger in terms out beam output and runtime. Have you gone head-to-head with a direct comparison?
I meant that when you buy cheap, you usually pay for it. Using a Polycarb lens is an example. Giving you only one battery is another example. Not using Hard Anodised finishes is another example.
My first impression of the UltraStinger was that it lacked refinement and quality. But it didn't impress me with brutish output or tough features. I visited the Streamlight stand with as open a mind as I could muster. I was hoping that I could go back to PK and demand he made a SureFire like the UltraStinger, but I walked away with a feeling of "Is that all Streamlight had to offer?"
But then I'm known for my love of Streamlights... They are better then many other brands includiong Maglite. The UltraStinger seems to be a popular model, but then people like McDonalds. I'm a BK fan myself and happy to pay for it. People say BK is expensive. I say it's good value, and you get what you pay for.
